Concept Search - What can I type?

For a concept search, you can enter phrases, sentences, or full paragraphs in English. For example, copy and paste the abstract of a patent application or paragraphs from an article.

Concept search eliminates the need for complex Boolean syntax to inform retrieval. Our Semantic Gist engine uses advanced cognitive semantic analysis to extract the meaning of data. This reduces the chances of missing valuable information, that may result from traditional keyword searching.

Partitioning N-Way Systems

Publishing Venue

Abstract

Disclosed is a method that can split one n-way system into smaller partitions, or merge multiple partitions into one larger system, while the original operating system (OS) continues to run without shutting down (see Figure 1). The disclosed method is a standardized, scalable solution that works across OS generations.

Partitioning N-Way Systems

Disclosed is a method that can split one n-way system into
smaller partitions, or merge multiple partitions into one larger system, while
the original operating system (OS) continues to run without shutting down (see
Figure 1). The disclosed method is a standardized, scalable solution that works
across OS generations.

General Description

In
order to dynamically partition a system, the running OS must be notified of the
OS visible components being removed. That is, the processors, memory, and IO
components being removed much be identified to the running OS. The dynamic
partitioning request is fielded by the server management processor, which in
turn communicates the request via hardware to the platform. The request is
converted into a hot remove request for the SNC (i.e. processor and memory) and
a hot offline request for the SIOH (i.e. all IO components attached to the
targeted SIOH). Once the requests compute and IO elements are taken offline
from the running system, the scalability switch is reprogrammed to partition
the system (see Figures 2 and 3).

A
dynamic merge consists of first shutting down one of the systems and
introducing the now free resources (processor, memory, IO) to the other running
system without stopping the system. The request to merge is once again handled
by the server management system which first performs a shutdown of the targeted
side. After reprogramming the SPS registers for a 8way system, the free system
resources are...
